- The Rechtman-Script font is a chiseled script font that looks pretty darn
- good; a complete character, number, and punctuation set may be found in the
- font. Below sizes of 36 point, the "chiseled" features of the font may
- disappear (i.e., close up) when printed on a 300-dpi device; however, the
- font will still look nice, sort of like a bold script font with a short
- x-height (37 percent of the caps height, for those who are counting).

- The Rechtman-Script font is copyright 1992 by David Rakowski, All Rights
- Reserved, Alle Rechte Vorbehalten. It is not distributed free -- it is
- InverseAreaCodeWare. The shareware fee, which takes the form of a
- tax-deductble contribution to Columbia University, is calculated thusly:
- subtract your area code from 10,000 and move the decimal point two places
- to the left -- this is the amount in US dollars you should pay. For
- instance, Manhattan dwellers all have 212 as their area code: 212
- subtracted from 10,000 yields 788; therefore Manhattanites owe $7.88 for a
- shareware fee. Arizonans with the area code 602 owe $3.98; Coloradans with
- area code 303 owe $6.97. Confused? Good. It is not generally a good idea to
- move simply to pay a lower shareware fee for this font.
-
- Your check, which IS tax-deductible, should be made out to Columbia
- University and sent to Cynthia Lemiesz or workable facsimile, Music
- Department, 703 Dodge Hall, Columbia University, New York, NY 10027. With
- the check, insert a letter that says, "Dear Cynthia, My area code is 10,000
- minus the amount of the enclosed check. How are you? I am fine. I still
- don't like seafood enough to put it in my shoes yet. But the pizza never
- did seem to sprout. The ladies bathroom is on the sixth floor. Thank you
- for your attention." Your check goes to a fund that pays for performances
- of music composed by Columbia students (in THIS economy, nobody else is
- gonna pay!).
-
- Dude.

- You may give copies of the Rechtman-Script font to your friends providing
- all the files, including this one, are in the package. User groups and
- nonprofit organizations may include this font, with the previous
- conditions, on their nominal charge disks. For-profit companies, including
- freeware and shareware distributors may not distribute or sell this font
- without the written consent of David Rakowski. Rechtman-Script comes "as
- is," without warranty as to its usefulness or performance for any task
- whatsoever.

- Rechtman-Script is distributed to the font-using community by Insect Bytes,
- a place where phrases like "the font-using community" cause us to blow
- chunks.
